A Prayer for Holy Saturday

A Prayer for Holy Saturday

A prayer for Holy Saturday, from the Book of Common Prayer (USA, 20th Cent. Alt)

Merciful and ever living God, Creator of heaven and earth,
the crucified body of your Son was laid in the tomb
and rested on this holy day.
Grant that we may await with him the dawning of the third day
and rise in newness of life, through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
